Problema Solution
The perimeter of a rectangular garden is 36ft. the length is 4 ft more than the length and width of the garden. What is the length and width of the garden ?
Answer provided by our tutors
let 'x' represent the width, then 'w+4' represents the length
perimeter = 2(length + width)
36 = 2(w + w+4)
solving for 'w' we have w=7
7+4=11
the width of the garden is 4 ft, its length is 11 ft
